Donkey and Goat The Bear 2015

Here in Swigsville we are having a serious love affair with Counoise at the moment and this blend is no exception! It has a beautiful nose of bright, fresh perfumed raspberries that the Counoise brings while the Cinsault, Mourvedre, Grenache, Syrah and Roussane (more is definitely more in this case) add deeper notes of spice, charcuterie and a little black pepper husk. This is a wine with some serious elegance and power. Well worth a little up-spend on.
